When planning to visit Berlin for one of these shows, you must make sure that you make your arrangements in advance. The fashion weeks are wildly popular. That means that you may find it difficult to find places to stay and tickets if you book later. Before you plan your trip, here are some awesome tips to get you started.
Dress to impress every day
When you attend fashion week, you must always dress to impress. Yes, you will be on your feet all day long, but comfortable attire will stick out like a sore thumb. Before you go to Berlin, plan your outfits for each day. There are always journalists and bloggers at these events. That means that your chance of getting snapped by people is high. You need to look your best when attending events, so don’t let yourself down.
Find a hotel that’s cheap, yet central
You will likely be attending many events each day. That means that you will need to ensure you stay close to the city center. Look for hotel deals online before you book your trip. During the event, you will find that many of the hotels boost their prices. Book far in advance to save money. If you can check out Venere before you book any accommodation to compare hotel prices.
If you can’t get in, blag it
How good are your blagging skills? You can get tickets for most of the main events at Berlin Fashion Week, but some will be exclusive and guest-list-only affairs. You want to see as much of the event as possible. Blagging your way into the event is the key to your success. Say that your name should be on the list and give it some amateur dramatics. It might just get you through the door.
Use the underground
When traveling around the city, you should use the underground. You will waste a lot of money on cabs if you don’t invest in an underground ticket. Whilst using the public transport, take in some of the crazy street art in the city. You will notice loads of graffiti both on the city streets and the underground walls.
Take inspiration from the eco-fashion
Berlin Fashion Week specializes in eco-fashion. When you see the eco-catwalks, remember to take some inspiration. As a planet, we spend too little time worrying about the environment. Eco-style is sure to be the future of fashion all over the world. Make notes about the materials designers use and take loads of photos.
See some last-minute sights
Whilst in Berlin, it is important that you see some sights. You may only have a few days in the city, but you will want to take in some tourism whilst you are there. See the remains of the Berlin Wall and the Museum Island. Give yourself some time between shows and events to take in the sights of the city. You will be glad you did.
Blog, blog, blog
When you’re at fashion week, you need to be blogging all the time. It is no good waiting until you get home to write your blogs. Instead, take your laptop or tablet with you and blog on the go. People follow you online to see the latest news. Giving people the scoop on the events a week later just won’t do.
